Under consideration period

[RubbaJohnny]

Non O married extension, local office make it up on a daily basis and will put nothing in writing of course

 

Does the 400k need to be in same bank account after the application the government website is unclear to me.

 

Can I attend later than the 30 day as likely to be outside of Thailand or will I have to "start  the clock" again on the first working day I can attend please?

You have to return on the date stamped in your passport.

There is a chance it may be ready early. Give them a ring.

It has to be in the bank for two months prior to the date you apply for the extension. And then it is best and required at some offices that you keep it in the bank during the 30 day under consideration period.

After that you can do whatever you want to with it.

You can apply at any time during the last 30 days of your entry up to the last day if your want to.

Thanks most helpful, this office requires 3 months by the way, I'm sure the period is more flexible to those more "accomodating"

If you leave the country during the 30 day under consideration period you need a re-entry permit, which would only cover the 30 days; and you must re-enter on or before the expiry date of the re-entry permit.

 

If you leave without a re-entry permit, or re-enter after the re-entry permit has expired, the extension application would be void and you’d have to start all over again.

So you are effectively nailed down for that month!

No, you can apply for a re-entry permit, that will always be granted. Just discuss your return date with them

Joe. Whilst on this topic, how are the photos presented - old style glossies or on plain paper?

Thanks for all the replies, In my passport I had no glasses, what is best for visa photos with or without spectacles?
